One Secret to Success for a Working Mom, Expand Your Village (Jack and Jill of America)

Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Memorial Day Fashion

Even though I spent most of Memorial Day cleaning the house, I decided to wear a festive outfit. I wore red,white and blue plaid shorts, espadrilles and a pony tail. I like the plaid shorts a lot even though they are a bit different from my normal pattern-free fashion choices.  I have had them for a few years, but based on my read of the fashion magazines this season they have made a come back! If you're curious, they are not made by any known designer. I believe that I scored them at Marshall's, otherwise known as fashion heaven on earth! I got the navy shirt at Target back when Isaac Mizrahi had a line there. I miss those days!

Below are some photos.  Let me know what you think!
